,nbsp;Zwanziger's re-arrival in South Africa did cause some problems within the national team, because he expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation of the national team as soon as he came. When interviewed by the media, he said it as if he was not there and the national team would not work.

There are really few people who can say anything about him, because he is the top leader of the German Football Association, and Nielsbach has no choice but to say anything about him, otherwise, if Zwanziger, a UEFA president, interferes in the internal affairs of the member Football Association, he will be in trouble as the football emperor.

But just as Zwanziger was venting his dissatisfaction everywhere and showing off his presence everywhere, a fan of the football signed by the German internationals was published on the official website of the German Football Association.

"The fans of the motherland, although we are thousands of miles away in South Africa, we have seen photos and videos of you gathered in the square to watch the football. Thousands of fans gathered around the Brandenburg Gate to cheer us on, and countless fans are waiting in front of the TV and watching our game silently."

"In the square of Brandenburg Gate, countless fans wore striking national flags and formed a black, red and yellow celebration. They reminded us on the field that you will always be with us. The people of our motherland are holding a football party to cheer for the teams they support and love."

"Thank you, fans of the motherland! Even if we are thousands of miles away, we can feel your support and encouragement. You make us more motivated, your affirmation makes us full of motivation to move forward, and your passionate shouts give us more energy and make us stronger!"

"We also know that many media and many fans are worried about the current situation of the team, but please rest assured that our World Cup road is far from over, and everyone's football feast will continue. South African fans can buy the tickets you have in your hands to the finals!"

"We have confidence. We will form an invincible German team with all German fans. We are a united team. We all firmly believe that under the leadership of Mr. Yang Cheng, we will realize our dreams and bid farewell to the history of not winning the championship in the past 14 years!"

At the end of this open letter, all 23 international players wrote their signatures. They appeared together on the official website of the German Football Association, and also appeared on the front page headlines of major German media newspapers the next day.

Such open letters are undoubtedly uncommon for Germans who have always been introverted. Therefore, many reporters have analyzed that this should be from Yang Cheng's masterpiece, because he has always been a head coach who is not communicating the emotions and enthusiasm of players.

As the reporters dig deeper, they gradually learned more and knew that Yang Cheng specially made a video of fans watching football at Brandenburg Gate to motivate the team. At the same time, he also had various measures in motivating the team, including expelling Zwanziger in the conference room and re-establishing the prestige of the head coach of the German national team.

Yang Cheng's series of actions made the German media stunned and deeply admired, because for the current German team, spiritual motivation is more important than strength. Yang Cheng's approach is to inspire this German national team from a spiritual level.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel also stood up to support Yang Cheng, believing that he is the best candidate to lead the German team. He believes that he will lead the German team to continue to advance in the World Cup. She did appear in the stands against the United States at 20:30 on June 26.

Charlize Theron held Charles and was with Merkel, while Heidi Krum and Sienna Miller also sat beside Beckenbauer. South Africa's World Cup theme song singer Avril also appeared in the stands, obviously both for Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng, who had handled the sponsors and off-court affairs, appeared in the coaching seat of the German national team for the first time.

Although the contract was not signed, this is Yang Cheng's first game officially as the head coach of the German national team!

…………

The group stage of the US team in the South Africa World Cup was ups and downs. The experience was like a roller coaster, and it was a Hollywood superhero blockbuster. And the one who laughed the last time was Uncle Sam.

In the first round of the group stage, against the powerful England, the United States first encountered a goal from Gerald 4 minutes after the start of the game, but the United States equalized the score in the first half and then kept the draw until the end of the game.

In the second round of the group, the United States encountered Slovenia, conceded the ball in the first 13 minutes and conceded the ball in the 42nd minute. He fell behind 0:2 in the first half, but Bradley made adjustments in the second half, and he scored 2 goals in a row, drawing the game to 2:2.

In the third game, the United States welcomed Algeria. The goal was first blown up, and the game was also very difficult. However, the United States relied on the goal in the last stoppage time to complete the final victory against Algeria, and successfully advanced to the top 16 with the first place in the group. The unbeaten record in the group was also the first time in the history of the US World Cup.

Looking at the three rounds of group stages in the United States, you can find an interesting point, that is, the team's start is always slow, the entry into state, the pace of the start is slow, and everything is slow, which directly leads to the beginning being easily trapped in a passive manner.

Will Bradley change the US tactics in the knockout stage?

Yang Cheng is not clear about this, he doesn't know or want to know, because he is very clear about his team's problem, that is, he is not good at playing against the wind, so he must completely lay the advantages of the German team from the beginning of the game, create the greatest situation that is beneficial to him, and then incorporate the game into the German team's own rhythm.

Unlike the third round of the group stage, Yang Cheng adjusted the lineup of the game.

The starting goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Ram, Mertsack, Khdira and Friedrich, respectively; the double midfielders are Schweinsteiger and Tony Klos, respectively, the attacking forwards are Thomas Muller, Ozil and Deisler, respectively, and the single forward is Klose, who returns after a red card suspension.

A very obvious change is that Friedrich, who was arranged in the middle by Löw in the first two rounds, was re-arranged to the right by Yang Cheng. He used to play on the right in the national team, but because of many injuries to the central defender, Westman failed to participate in the World Cup. Friedrich was falsely beaten to the central defender, but made a mistake in the game against Garner.

This time, Yang Cheng asked him to return to the right, which obviously prevented him from defending the right and allowed Germany to devote himself to the attack on the left.

Another surprising change comes from Khdira's central defender.

Khedira is 1.89 meters tall. She is tall and powerful, and has a fast speed. Although she is not flexible enough, the midfielder has excellent sense of filling up and assisting defense, and has a strong sense of position, but her shortcomings are also very obvious.

From the front midfielder to the midfielder, Khedira's offense was very strong and her forward-surge was very strong. He had a large range of activities and was active in running, but he was more of an interference situation. He was not an interceptor like Mascherano with a large coverage area, but a harasser with a large range of running.

As for some fans' views on the idea that he likes to step forward and cannot be placed based on his previous performance, Yang Cheng, as the head coach, has his own set of views. He thinks it seems like Barcelona uses Alves, and his characteristics are there. If you use him, you have to bear this risk.

There are no perfect players in this world, and there is no perfect standard program for the team-building players. Even the technical characteristics of players in each position are different. This requires the head coach to better combine the characteristics of the players to play their overall strengths. Instead of asking the players to do so, it is not realistic.

Khedira is average in skills, but her basic skills are solid, and she is a reliable ball transitioner. Moreover, Khedira does not stick to the ball, and she is very decisive and capable in taking the ball. He has a good sense of position and tall figure. Yang Cheng is good at frontal defense and air defense against Mertsak. When Khedira is a defender next to Mertsak, he can also give him an extra ball point on the defense line.

This was also the game against Ghana. After watching Khdira's defensive performance, Yang Cheng had some ideas in his mind, so he wanted to try it in this game.

The only problem is Khedira's consciousness of forward insertion, so Yang Cheng specifically instructed Frick to let the latter stare at Khedira in one game. Once the kid gets a little hot, he will stop him and stop him from stepping forward.

This approach is a bit like Mourinho took charge of Inter Milan in his previous life and prevented Lucio from entering the Champions League final against Bayern.

The midfield arrangement of Tony Klos and Schweinsteiger was not a whim, but an attempt by Yang Cheng. Of course, Tony Klos is too young and Yang Cheng is not sure how he can play, but he wants to ensure how effective the ball is controlled outside the opponent's 32-meter area after the team suppresses the opponent.

Tony Close is responsible for the back-drag organization, sorting out the ball path, and exerting his delicate feet, excellent overall view, strong organizational ability and excellent passing ability, while also covering up his lack of forward ability, because in the back-drag organization, his main accusations are passing balls and connecting.

Schweitzer's strong vertical ability is related to his background playing on the wing and his excellent defensive ability, so Yang Cheng asked him to step forward, but also gave him more tasks of counter-robbing and delaying on the spot, allowing him to invest in counter-robbing as soon as possible after the team concedes the ball, instead of considering returning to his position first.

When using Schweinsteiger and Tony Klos to play double midfielders, Yang Cheng also expected that the team's midfielder would be relatively weak in defense, so he kept reminding the players before the game that they should counterattack on the spot and put strong pressure on their opponents from the beginning of the game, and then create the most favorable defensive situation for their side.

Compared with defense, Yang Cheng invested more and more in offense in this game.

Because he had to press forward from the beginning, Klose, Thomas Muller, Ozil and Deisler all entered the opponent's 32-meter area. Ram was the offensive shot on the left, so he also stepped forward very decisively and actively.

Yang Cheng made three offensive combinations. First, actively pressing the frontcourt and counter-attack, and once he got the ball, he directly created a counterattack; second, actively inserting the back to form an offensive ladder. Once the front attack fails, inserting the back to continue to form a threat; third, two consecutive attacks are ineffective, firmly ensuring ball control and reorganizing.

Before the game, American team head coach Bradley expected that this game would be difficult because he was facing the best head coach in the world, but he still overestimated the difficulty of the game.

In his opinion, the young Germany, who was a little immature and lacked experience and mature, seemed full of energy at the beginning of the game and put strong pressure on the United States. Especially the frontcourt led by Klose, which even formed strong pressure and interference on the US team's midfield and backcourt.

The game completely entered a high-tempo confrontation from the beginning. For the American team players, facing Germany is even more pressure than facing England, especially the German team played very active on both sides.

Just 5 minutes into the opening game, Yang Cheng's combination of punches came into effect immediately.

First, Germany's active frontcourt counterattack, Desler and Schweinsteiger joined forces to attack Donovan on the left wing of the United States. After the successful interception, the German team immediately formed a counterattack. Desler avoided the defensive players as soon as possible and passed the ball to Ozil, and continued to run forward.

Ozil knocked back after getting the ball. He took the initiative to complete a two-pass and one-on-one cooperation with Deisler to avoid the opponent's defensive players, allowing Deisler to get the ball and go down from the right to the bottom line. The German right wing kicked the ball from the right side of the penalty area, and the ball drew an arc and fell straight to the front of the goal.

Deisler's cross landing point was very accurate, just in the area where the goalkeeper could attack. But hesitate, so Howard hesitated a little and did not choose to attack in the end. However, Klose seized his hesitant time, and then inserted a header like a dry land to knock Deisler's cross into the goal of the United States!

"goallllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"

As the excited German fans rushed out of their seats, the live commentator was also excited.

"In less than 6 minutes of the game, the German team took the lead in completing their third shot and scored the first goal, 1:0. The United States once again fell behind, but this time it depends on whether they can turn the situation around again!"

After the team scored a goal, Yang Cheng was not surprised or excited, but walked to the sidelines. He looked calm and calm to remind the players who came out to celebrate. He should continue to remain calm after returning to the court, and at the same time reminded Tony Klos and the defense line that they were a little far from the frontcourt just now, so he should pay attention to keeping the distance between the three lines.

After the re-telection, the German team still did not relax. They scored goals from the beginning, and the tactics worked very well after the opening game. Cheng's offensive combination punches caused a lot of trouble for the United States, especially the German team's front-court pressing and oppression, which hurt the United States and made frequent mistakes, while the German team seized the opponent's mistakes and counterattacked.

In the 23rd minute, another pass mistake from the US team was intercepted by Mertesak, who directly passed the ball to Tony Kloss. After the latter got the ball away, he passed it straight to Klosse, who suppressed the opponent's two central defenders in the penalty area.

After the German striker took the ball with his back, he brought it back and passed it to Schweinsteiger who was inserted behind him. The Bayern midfielder inserted into the front of the penalty area. He saw that it was an opportunity and he directly pulled his feet and shot angrily.

This powerful and stern shot caught Howard off guard and watched the ball pierce through the German team's goal again, 2:0!

"Oh my God, the game lasted only 23 minutes, and the German team won two games in a row!"

Schweinsteiger rushed out of the stadium excitedly and rushed to the front of the live broadcast of the TV. He was obviously shouting loudly at the domestic fans in Germany who were thousands of miles away, venting his excitement after scoring the goal.

"The German team's offense after the opening game seemed very decisive and resolute, especially in the ladder, which was very layered and aimless. The high-intensity pressure and pressing in the frontcourt forced the opponent to make mistakes. Once the opponent made a mistake, he directly made the most effective and sharp counterattack, which directly formed a threat. This was the result of the first and second goals."

"The German team started this game with great momentum, which is obviously different from the German team led by Loew in the past. It looks stronger and more aggressive!"

After falling behind prematurely, the US team was in a mess, and their mentality became impatient. They failed to seize the opportunity after several counterattacks. Khedira's assisted defense and ball replacing and getting the ball on the back line were relatively stable, and the ball was handled more concisely and reasonably, ensuring that the German team got the ball in the backcourt.

After scoring two goals in a row, the team's situation was getting better. The German team began to relax and gradually showed the strength and momentum of their own team. Especially before the first half was about to end, the German team intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack. After receiving a pass from Klose, Thomas Muller entered the penalty area, calmly took off, and hit it again, rewriting the score to 3:0 for the German team!

"A very exciting attack!" The commentator exclaimed, "This is the most exciting first half game so far in this World Cup. He led by 3 goals. The German team showed strong attack power, and Yang Cheng also surprised to give an impressive report card."

"After Loew suddenly resigned and took action in a hurry, Yang Cheng not only led Germany to bear the pressure and qualified from the group stage. In the 45 minutes of this game, we saw the exciting offensive strength of the German team!"

"Persisting in offensive football is Yang Cheng's coaching style, but the German team's running, offensive level, and control of the ball in this game are all very well-established, which is enough to witness the effectiveness of Yang Cheng's coaching."

"But now the German team cannot be careless, because the United States is a tenacious team, and they can still tie the team when they are behind 2 goals, which shows how tenacious the team is. This is where the German team needs to be wary of in the second half."

After the on-site commentator gave a kind reminder, the referee also blew the whistle to the end of the first half. Germany temporarily led the United States 3:0, which was almost a score that could end the game early. However, because the US team had a precedent for reversal, everyone dared not be careless, especially Yang Cheng.

He is very clear about the current situation of the German team, so he kept reminding the players to be careful during the break.

But unexpectedly, they made a mistake!
